Player of the Game

Ben Wallace (Ultimate Pistons)

Our first seven game series, and was also the first time a winning team had 4 different "Players of the Game" (as determined by WhatIfSports... I don't pick those.) I wonder if that will help or hurt the Pistons in the long run, without one clearly defined dominant guy (like Kidd clearly was for the Nets.) Guess we'll find out. Their next series is against the winner of the Magic-Knicks series.
